Fun, Inc., exercises no control over the content of the information
available through the Internet service.

Corporation (doing business as ESVA.NET: address of P O Box 928,
Nassawadox, VA 23413 USA) and its assigns and operators of the Internet

The Internet service provided to the Subscriber by the Company may only
be used in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations and
rules and solely for lawful purposes. Transmission, promulgation, theft,

United States Annotated Code, or of any state or local law, statute,
regulation or rule is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not
limited to any material, data, matter, software or software code, or
intellectual property protected by copyright, trademark, privacy, or other
proprietary, personal or property right, trade secret, or any other
statute. It is unlawful and a violation of this Contract to communicate,
transmit, or promulgate in any matter, means or medium, any threatening,
harassing, or obscene material, matter, communications of any sort or to
otherwise use the Internet service for any illegal or unlawful purpose.
The Subscriber is solely responsible for the knowledge of and adherence
to any and all laws, statutes, rules and regulations pertaining (i) to the
Subscriber's use of the Internet service (ii) to the use of any networks
connected to the Internet service, and (iii) to the communications means by
which the Subscriber connects their modem, PC terminal or other equipment
to the Internet service.
The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
officers, shareholders, agents and employees and its other subscribers from
any and all claims , costs, expenses, judgments, causes of actions,
attorneys fees, litigation and court costs resulting from the Subscriber's
use of the Internet service in any manner, whether directly, indirectly or
by any act of commission or omission.
Payment of the Internet service fee is due on the first day of the
billing period of the selected service option. Service started from the
first through the fifteenth day of the month is subject to the full monthly
service charge of the selected service option. Service started from the
sixteenth through the last day of the month is subject to half the monthly
service charge of the selected service option. An Internet service account
is in default if payment of the Internet service fee is not received within
15 days after payment is due. If the Subscribers payment is returned to
the Company unpaid, the Subscriber is immediatly in default and subject to
a charge of $25 from the Company. Accounts unpaid 30 days after payment is
due may have their service interrupted. Such interruption does not relieve
the Subscriber from the obligation to pay the Internet service fee. Only a
written request to terminate the service relieves the Subscriber of the
Subscriber's obligation to pay the monthly account charge. Accounts in
default are subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month or the
Subscriber's state legal maximum allowable rate. If the Subscriber
defaults, the Subscriber is to pay the Company it's reasonable expenses,
including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its
rights under these Terms and Conditions. An act of default accelerates
payments to be due immediately, as credit is no longer being extended.
In the event the Company is required to engage the services of an
attorney because of a breach by the Subscriber of any of the terms herein
contained, the Subscriber agrees to pay all of the Company's reasonable
attorneys fees and court costs. Upon breach of this Contract, all of

any such termination for breach of the provisions of this Contract, or the
breach of any applicable law or statue governing the use of the Internet
service, all subscriber fees shall be forfeited as liquidated damages to
the Company. In the event of litigation both parties agree that the Law of
Virginia shall apply and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of the
state courts of Northampton County, Virginia, or in the event of diversity
of citizenship, the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Virginia. Both parties expressly waive a jury trial.

Company or the Subscriber, upon written notice sent by the Subscriber to
the address of the Company listed in this Contract, or by the Company, upon
written notice sent to the last mailing address listed with the Company by
the Subscriber on the Application for Internet Service. It shall be the
responsibility of the Subscriber to keep the Company informed as to a valid
mailing address to which notice can be sent. Service terminated from the
first through the 15th day of the month is subject to half the monthly
charge. Service terminated from the 16th through the last day of the month
is subject to the full monthly charge.
